“Is this the Twilight Zone? Have we joined a cult?” We’ll never tell. ‘Do do di do do do di do’ (bad attempt at the iconic theme for the show) :rolleyes:

So this is exactly what I did in 2011. Stopped by for a Saturday, took the factory tour, and walked around and looked at so many small campers. What was also great is CICO isn't 'just' CampInn trailers. Home-builts, cargo conversions, small airstreams, Luna, Tag and Tab etc etc... depending...

Fyi, ‘membership’ in tearjerkers.net consists of registering on the forum. There are no fees or anything. Based on my experience, a tearjerker is anyone anywhere that has ever had at least one moment of appreciation for a tiny camper. even signing up on the forum isn’t required…but I suspect...

Mike and Charlene, if during the wait you want to enjoy a gathering, check out tearjerkers.net for gatherings near you. I often join the Illinois Land of Lincoln group gatherings, unknown how far some of those may be from you. Even if you don’t camp but drive out for Saturday to join the fire...

If you feel like company sometimes, check out tearjerkers.net. Gatherings in Wisc, Illinois, Minnesota might appeal.

I call it 'right sizing' :)

Welcome Todd! This forum is mostly regarding a CampInn trailer, but most of us looked at or had other teardrop type or tiny trailers. So if you want opinions, just ask. Also if you haven’t yet discovered it on your own, go check out tnttt.com. (Teardrops aNd Tiny Travel Trailers). Lots of...

Answering questions… Is your NB a 10x10 or the 12x12. 12x12 Is your CI at regular or SUV height? SUV How much room in the tent eaves for the hatch when opened inside. Any rubs? No rubs, lots of space. fyi, my typical shelters are… in order of use. Keep in mind I’m a weekend camper mostly...

I do have the 4 sided clam, and set it up most trips. I don’t have the zipper mod, I just set it up nearish wherever makes sense for the site, and besides, the 4 sided is I think too small to nestle in. Sometimes that is behind the galley a few feet, sometimes it is to the side. I usually add...

My opinion, make a factory visit! Have the wife bring a pillow, lol. Have her lay in it for a while, curtains open, closed, etc etc. with and without you. I recall that many people with claustrophobia have no problems, not even in a 550, but everyone is different. If factory visit is too...

Nice! I sadly can’t arrive til Thursday. Enjoy the cricket concert!

Tip in case you can attend Cico…you can arrive early. There isn’t anything planned earlier than Friday, but some of us arrive early and hang out anyway!

I’d be happy to contribute to a forum maintenance fund.

I’m sorry, what vents are you referring to? If you mean those tiny ones in the doors above the windows, my understanding is that those aren’t necessarily for air…(at least not what you are thinking), It’s because the camper is so well built that without them, closing the doors was difficult due...

It isn’t necessarily the snow. In Wisconsin to combat icy roads, salt will be used on every road. Salt on your brand new CI isn’t something you likely want to experience. What I suggest is keep in touch with CampInn on the pick up date, and options available.

Email campinn!

I originally got a cheap-o trailer dolly, and within a year it failed. I didn't get my heavy-duty one from Tractor Supply, but the one I have looks exactly like Warren & Mary Ellen's picture. I have a slight incline to back my trailer into the garage; the dolly is very handy in maneuvering it...

I had to count up... it's 7 for me as well. yay! And I didn't count events I plan to do; just haven't booked sites (CICO for example, and there's at least 2 Tearjerker gatherings which I plan on attending which are later in the year and booking isn't open yet for those campgrounds) Last year...

Only CI can answer your questions lol. But if you need to stay overnight, the Nest does have an on site dry camping spot you can use. It’s best to just email and let them know your wish list. I did stop last year (with an appt) . I had the grab bars retro fitted. While there they gave mine...

Ordered the drying rack cover before the rest of you buy them up from Amazon. :) I had asked Tim of Short Bench Woodworks | Facebook to make me a drain board for my sink (they also have a CI). and it's been working well; but I want to try this out. I had tried a roll-up similar to this, but...
